My vehicle had a previous safety recall performed regarding a faulty airbag sensor that would inadvertently disable the passenger airbag while there was a passenger in the front seat while driving the vehicle. The recall was performed, however the issue has returned while driving, causing an unsafe environment for a passenger in the front seat. The manufacturer has stated that the recall does not cover the entire pods unit and only covers a portion of it, and that I would be responsible for the repair.

The passenger occupancy detection sensor in the front passenger seat is malfunctioning. This is even after the recent recall for the vehicle. Audi states that this is just wear and tear on the car and say it will cost $1300 to fix. In the meantime, the airbag light is on and airbags are not functioning.

There was a recall on the seatbelt sensor going off if there was no passenger on seat and passenger airbag being off despite a passenger sitting on the seat. (campaign number: 19V474000) I took my car to the dealership for the recall where they replaced the faulty wire/connector and exchanged it for a more sturdy connector. This fixed the problem for a few months after taking it in and then the same problem occurred again randomly going to work, and since then has not gone away! the passenger airbag light is always on and the seatbelt alarm goes off even if there is no passenger, if there is a passenger, the passenger airbag light is still off. The dealership told me it's not the wire/connector and they will have to replace the whole sensor system on the seat which the warranty is not going to cover since they don't cover safety things which now they will charge around 1000 dollars. I went ahead with the repair because this is a liability issue, and I cannot have passengers in my vehicle when the vehicle is saying the passenger airbag is off even if a person is sitting there. Please investigate this as the faulty wire/connector replacement is only a temporary fix and they need to replace the whole sensor system in the seat to get this problem fixed! thank you.

Audi released a safety recall for the airbags on my vehicle, I have had the safety recall performed twice and I am still getting the same airbag errors. Audi has not admitted that they are not sure what is causing the issue again despite replacing parts that were supposedly going to fix the issue. Now I have to drive the vehicle with no airbags when the error comes on, which is every time I start the car.

Passenger air bag is constantly turning itself off. Sometimes when someone is in the seat, sometimes if nothing is in the seat. I can even have it trip if I place an ipad or even a to-go back of food. Very annoying. Mentioned it twice to dealerships, but was always told "it might be wet" or "everything found in order" even though my vcds is logging all of these errors. Doesn't matter if the car is stationary or moving. It will cycle between thinking someone is in the seat and someone isn't. been happening for years. Not exactly thrilled about letting my wife or kid ride in the passenger seat.

My passenger seat airbag light started coming in randomly. I think it might be the sensor that sees if a small child is in the seat, in which case it turns off the airbag. But, when no one is in the seat, I get an alert every time I start the car, and it beeps for minutes. Plus, I think its telling me the airbag will not deploy if wrecked! my car is just out of warranty (4.5 years old, 39K miles)

Passenger seat occupancy sensor SRS airbag light warning comes up whether or not there is a seated passenger. Passenger is not being detected and airbag stays off. Happens when stationary or in motion. Vehicle is always giving warning sounds that seat belt is not fastened. Issue tested by dealer. Seems to be common known issue with recent Audi's. others to have reported same issue.

My car's passenger side front seat abruptly developed a sensor failure. The "passenger airbag off" light is lit, signaling the airbag won't deploy despite a passenger sitting in the seat. This is dangerous. There has been a recall issued in June 2018 on 140K Audi cars with similar problem, my model has yet to be included, and there are likely more cars with similar malfunction.
